DAMAC Hills is a large, established master-community built around the Trump International Golf Club Dubai — a green mix of villas, townhouses and apartments with strong recent price momentum (up about 26% over the past year). It offers golf-community living across a broad price range, from accessible apartments to large luxury villas.
Living in DAMAC Hills
DAMAC Hills is golf-community living at a mid-market price: an 18-hole Trump-branded course at its centre, parks, community retail and schools, across a large spread of villa clusters and apartment towers. It is calm, green and family-oriented. The trade-offs are distance and scale — it sits well outside the city centre, is entirely car-dependent, and the community is large enough that amenities and travel times vary by cluster.
Getting around
- By car: Umm Suqeim Road and Al Qudra Road give access — roughly 25–30 minutes to Downtown.
- Metro: none; a car is essential in this community.
Schools & families
DAMAC Hills is built for families, with schools and nurseries in and around the community (including Jebel Ali School nearby), parks, sports facilities and safe streets. Combined with the golf course and community retail, it is a self-contained family environment at a lower price than the prime golf communities.
Shopping, dining & lifestyle
- Community retail & Carrefour — everyday shopping and dining within the community.
- Trump International Golf Club — championship golf and clubhouse dining.
- Nearby — a short drive to Global Village and Dubai Hills Mall for larger retail and entertainment.
The investor view
DAMAC Hills has seen strong momentum — prices up about 26% over the past year — across a wide range from sub-AED 600K studios to multi-million villas. Apartments deliver the yield; villas the space and appreciation.

DAMAC Hills apartments yield roughly 6–7.5% gross, villas nearer 5% — a solid mid-market return, with the added kicker of strong recent appreciation (~26% over the last year). It is a value golf-community play: cheaper than Dubai Hills or Emirates Hills, with a broad ladder from entry studios to large villas. As always in a big master-community, the specific cluster and building drive the return.
Who should buy here
DAMAC Hills suits value-focused families wanting golf-community living without prime prices, and investors after mid-market apartment yields plus appreciation. If you want a central location or top prestige, look at Dubai Hills or Emirates Hills; if you want space, golf and value with momentum, DAMAC Hills delivers.
